Jason Butler of Grammy nominated activist group FEVER 333 stopped by our studio ahead of the band's headlining D333MONSTRATIONS Tour kick off. The North American solo run is followed by a string of summer dates as support for Korn and Alice In Chains!
From donating funds from merch and performances, to promoting change through their music, Butler detailed FEVER 333's profound passion to give back within everything they do as a group. Watch our full Tour Update episode below:
The Idea of Freedom
"I just know that this is what I want from music. This is what I want from live performance and art. This is what I want from people, so the idea of a demonstration is literally to be demonstrative of an idea of freedom and this is our idea of that freedom."
Community, Charity & Change
"So this project is incumbent upon it's charity efforts. It's one of the pillars and foundations of this whole project- community, charity and change- the three c's upon which thing whole thing rests. So as far as charity is concerned, I started our own for this band called the Walking in my Shoes Foundation, so it's governmentally recognized. It's a branded fund so I'm able to travel around the country and we can revolve charities and we can put into this fund and from our fund we can give to local charities in Kansas City, we can give to a charity in Inglewood, we can give to a charity in Chicago. Anywhere we want to throughout this country, we can take money from our demonstrations, from our merchandise, from our charity efforts, from our activations, we can put that into the fund and we offer it to every single city we touch down in, in order to say thank you for sharing their space, sharing their culture, and allowing us to be there. This idea of charity, the Walking in my Shoes Foundation, is probably the nexus of what we do, charity wise, and we do that in ever city we go to."
